    The eyes he gave the keeper for his second, just makes ye smile watching it

    It won't be until we are very old we will realise how lucky we were to be watching him live week in week out in his prime.

    For me without doubt the greatest player in the history of the game. What he is doing at the highest level going on a decade now is simply outrageous.

    Don't even try tell me Ronaldo is as good as him!!!

    Tom Brady, how'd ye like them apples!

    Yet the nfl ignores domestic abusers and murderers until the revenue gets a kicking.

    Why do some people seem to think it is a clever idea to walk and run on the road amongst the traffic when there are perfectly adequate footpaths just 3 feet away........ Then they look at you as if you are infringing on their human rights if you give them a little beep!

    :confused::rolleyes:

    Rang Irish Water today - jaysus.

    Account Number to a robot
    then WPRN number - now to start, why on earth would you need to give 2 numbers confirmed each time.

    Then onto a nice sounding young cork Girl - her introduction was she was not sure if she could do why I was onto her.

    Of course, she needs my Acc No. again - then WPRN again :eek:.
    Then I ask can I set up a Direct Debit - she is not sure if she can do this

    No she can't after asking boss (maybe a robot)

    Ok - Can I pay bill - no not working. :eek:

    Sorry could I have WRPN again - at this point I felt like asking, why

    The 100 euro is claimed back from another department.

    Ok this is a communist red tape regime at this stage.

    I'm put on hold - I hang up.


    This was meant to be a leading new company - or at least use billing concept and structure from BGE.

    There are lots of people who don't want to pay their Bill - they are very lucky they don't have to try .

    Anyway - a good laugh.

    Still 64 euro a 1/4 , not exactly winning the hearts and minds.

    Had to run off and play 10 holes in 1hour14mins after to de-stress and catch daylight.

    Effectively you have encountered a 'water hazard' and looked for a ruling but been met with an unfavourable official.

    Actually the more I think about it the more I'm seeing a curious water related theme with FdP; Corballis, love of links courses, high water usage at home....I believe hydromania is the term for such water enthusiasts.

    So my brother has just been told he's got a gig at electric picnic- he's a reggae dj- delighted for him- he's 43 years old- bottom left hand corner- reggae Richie!

    I've had years of suffering because of his taste in music.

    I'm trying to remember the most stupid thing I've ever posted after a few hours on the beer.

    Usually like I am now at 2.30 a.m.

    Is there something like a Guinness Book of Records for stupid?
